Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a shoe tightening device intended to bring two adjustable parts thereof and relates more particularly to a clamping device adjustable in position on these parts in a direction transverse to that of the clamping force that it is capable to exercise by means of a tension lever with which it is provided.
  • Clamping devices of this type are known from German patent applications No. 19 41 025 and No. 24 14 439, as well as by Swiss Patent No. 668 682. In these devices tightening the relative position of the elements which constitute them and which connect the adjustable parts of the shoe can be adjusted to change the direction of the clamping force to be applied to these adjustable parts and in order to respect the morphology of the user's foot.
  • a clamping device comprises a tension lever whose base is adjustable in angular position on a fixed rigid notched plate by rivets on one of the adjustable parts of the shoe in the region of the instep.
  • This lever is intended for pulling on a link whose ends are connected to the same adjustable part of the shoe than the one carrying the lever. Between its two ends, the link is supported by two references fixed on the other adjustable part of the shoe, another lever ensuring the adjustment of the active length of the link and the opening-closing of the shoe upper.
  • the link references are fixed in position, one in the rod region and the other in that of the foot, and it is the adjustment of the position of the tension lever on the rigid plate which modifies the direction of the clamping force.
  • This clamping device is therefore adjustable in position by with respect to the adjustable parts of the shoe, thanks to the notched plate, in the direction transverse to that of the clamping force which it exerts via the tension lever, the resulting from this force being directed at the instep region
  • the clamping device comprises two rigid slides which extend substantially parallel to each other and which are each fixed by rivets on a adjustable parts of the shoe.
  • An articulated assembly presenting a tension lever, to which is linked with an adjustable tie rod, is mounted to slide by means of profiled end pieces on both slides thus connected together.
  • the clamping device is therefore adjustable in position on the adjustable parts of the shoe by means of the slides in a transverse direction, even perpendicular to that of the clamping force it exerts using the tension lever.
  • This kind of tightening device allows an effective pulling on the adjustable part of the shoe extending in vis-à-vis the tension lever and makes it possible to adjust the clamping force in accordance with the morphology of the user's foot.
  • the articulated assembly does not include stop means positive compared to the slides, it is likely to slide on them as soon as it is open. In reality, to avoid any adjustment, it is necessary to reposition it on the latter after each opening operation. In addition, when the clamping force is relatively low, the articulated assembly with its lever can inadvertently slide along the slides even if it is closed.
  • the described clamping device is adjustable in position on one of the adjustable parts of the rod of the shoe, in a direction transverse to that of the clamping force which it exerts by lifting tension, by means of a rigid insert provided with several attachment points on which it is fixed positively the base of a tie rod subject to said lift.
  • a rigid insert provided with several attachment points on which it is fixed positively the base of a tie rod subject to said lift.
  • it is possible to adjust the clamping force in accordance with the morphology of the foot of the user, without having to reposition it after each opening operation.
  • the tightening device requires the entire adjustable part of the shoe not fitted with the insert, a relatively large overall elastic deformation especially when the attachment points extremes are used.
  • the direction of the clamping force also varies, but, unlike the devices described above, in the opposite direction to that of the adjustment made on the insert.
  • this type of clamping device when the most attachment point is used high on the upper of the shoe, it is mainly on the lower edge of the upper that the clamping force.
  • the position of use of the lowest attachment point it is on the edge higher of the rod than the clamping force is highest.
  • this device allows above all adapt the adjustable upper parts of the shoe to the shape of the lower leg the user enters two extreme positions where the rod takes a conical shape, or flares upwards, is flared down.
  • the object of the present invention is to allow adjustment of the clamping device symmetrically. adjustable shoe parts without the need for repositioning between maneuvers opening-closing, and avoiding significant overall deformation of at least one of the parts adjustable shoe.
  • the invention also aims to provide a clamping device having simple and effective position adjustment means, not bulky, easy to realize and implement.
  • the clamping device adjustable in position on adjustable parts of a shoe in a direction transverse to that of the clamping force which it is capable of exerting by means of a tension lever with which it is provided is characterized by the fact that the lever tension is mounted on a base which is provided, on the one hand, with a removable attachment element intended to retain it on any one of several attachment points made in a rigid, integral insert one of the adjustable parts of the shoe, and secondly, an assembly means such as a notch, intended to cooperate with a corresponding means such as a boss obtained on said part adjustable shoe.
  • attachment element and the notch of the base of the lever of tension are aligned in a direction approximately coinciding with that of the clamping force that the tension lifting exerts while the attachment points made in the insert extend, successively, in a direction transverse to that of said clamping force.
  • the rigid insert is, advantageously, at least partially inserted into the thickness of the wall of this adjustable part on which it is fixed.
  • This at least partial insertion into the thickness of the wall of the adjustable part dispenses with having to use many rivets or other equivalent means to rigidly fix the insert because it allows to distribute the pressures exerted on the insert over a larger surface than that which would be offered by rivets.
  • the tension lever acts on a tie rod which cooperates with a retainer which is adjustable in position on the other adjustable part of the shoe.
  • This element retainer is provided with a guide means which cooperates with a corresponding guide means worn by the adjustable part of the shoe to allow its adjustment in position of alignment vis-à-vis of the tension lift.
  • the clamping device 1 is intended to bring two adjustable parts 2 and 3 of the shoe which can be, as in this example, the flaps of closing the base of the shell 4. It is understood that the clamping device 1 can also be adapted to the closing flaps 2 'and 3' of the upper 5 of the shoe.
  • a tension lever 6 pivoting on a base 7 around an axis 7 'and a rigid insert 8 fixed by rivets 9.
  • This rigid insert 8, of elongated, is obtained with several attachment points 10, such as tapped holes in one of which, optionally, a removable fastening element 11 is intended to be mounted in order to ensure retention positive of the base 7 of the tension lever 6 at the location of the point of attachment 10 chosen.
  • Base 7, which actually forms a yoke for the axis 7 'of the lever 6, is provided on one side with the attachment element 11, and the other side of an assembly means such as a notch which cooperates with an assembly means corresponding, such as a boss, produced on the adjustable part 3.
  • the attachment element 11 and the notch 12 are centered relative to the yoke that constitutes the base 7, and are aligned in a direction 60, shown in broken lines, substantially perpendicular to that 61 of the axis 7 'of pivoting of the lever 6.
  • the tightening device 1 also comprises, on the other adjustable part 2 of the shoe, an element retainer 20 adjustable in position with which a tie rod 21 connected to the tension lever 6 cooperates.
  • retaining element consists of a rack whose notches 20 'allow the position to be varied for hooking the tie rod 21, and consequently for varying the clamping force which the lever can exert tension 6 on the two adjustable parts 2 and 3 of the shoe.
  • the retainer 20 is also provided adjustable transversely.
  • a guide means 22 constituted by a pin, which cooperates with a corresponding guide means 23 formed by an oblong lumen.
  • the tenon 22 is slidably mounted freely in the oblong lumen 23 which extends transversely in a direction 63, shown in broken lines, substantially parallel to that 61 of the axis 7 'of the lever 6 and the attachment points 10 insert 8. Thanks to its arrangements, the retaining element 20 can thus be easily placed opposite of the tension lever 6 without causing deformation of the adjustable part 2 of the shoe on which it mounted sliding.
  • the insert 8 is at least partially inserted in the thickness of the adjustable part 3 of the shoe.
  • This arrangement allows to distribute over a large surface area the pressures exerted on the insert 8 when the tension lever 6 is put in work, and also allows to integrate at least part of the constituent parts of the device tightening 1 in the overall external volume of the shoe.
  • the clamping force which the clamping device 1 can exert may be high, risks of deterioration of parts or parts subjected locally to high pressures are likely to appear. This is precisely what is likely to happen in the area of sliding of the retaining element 20 on the adjustable part 3 of the shoe which is generally obtained from a relatively flexible material to ensure its closing function and adaptation to the morphology of the user's foot.
  • a resistant part 30 sheaths the means of guide 23, that is to say the oblong lumen.
  • This part can come from an insert molded with the part adjustable 2 of the shoe or be attached and fixed thereon for example by welding, collage, ... etc. It is obvious that in this case of construction, the tenon 22 which constitutes the means of guide of the rack 20 is then adjusted to the oblong light 23 'determined on the part 30.
  • This pin 22 located at the rear end 32 of the rack 20 can be provided cylindrical in order to allow the latter to turn on it to align very precisely with the tension lever 6, especially when the transverse adjustment is carried out with a certain approximation.
  • the rack 20 is not envisaged pivoting mounted but rather maintained and guided in translation on the resistant part 30.
  • the resistant part 30 is provided with a guide zone 31, such as a shoulder, parallel to the oblong lumen 23 ', along which slides the front end 33 of the rack 20 which constitutes a guide zone complementary.
  • the clamping device 41 comprises a tension lever 46 which is provided with a rack 40, while that the retaining element 50 is provided with a tie rod 42.
  • the tension lever 46 which is provided with a rack 40
  • the retaining element 50 is provided with a tie rod 42.
  • the latter, 50 is obtained in the form of a mushroom whose the cap 51, projecting from the corresponding adjustable part 2 of the shoe, is provided with the tie rod 42 actuated by the tension lever 46 and whose foot, 52, equivalent to the tenon 22 of the element of retained 20 previous, is slidably mounted in the oblong slot 23.
  • the description of the assembly comprising the lever 46 with its attachment to the adjustable part 3 of the shoe is not taken from the fact that all of the foregoing features set out with reference to Figures 1 to 5 are unchanged.
